Using classical test theory to analyze multiple – choice questions
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article reports the result of using Classical Test Theory to analyze multiple – choice questions. The statistical method was used to examine an already-used test of 30 items with 85 student responses. The findings indicate that Classical Test Theory can be used to analyze test item parameters such as item difficulty, item discrimination, and distractor quality. These test item parameters play an important role in standardizing and enhancing the quality of multiple – choice questions. Standardized tests ensure the accuracy, objectiveness and fairness in assessing student learning outcomes.
Keywords
